Inhibition of the Cell Uptake of Delta and Omicron SARS-CoV-2 Pseudoviruses by <i>N</i>-Acetylcysteine Irrespective of the Oxidoreductive Environment
The binding of SARS-CoV-2 spikes to the cell receptor angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is a crucial target both in the prevention and in the therapy of COVID-19. We explored the involvement of oxidoreductive mechanisms by investigating the effects of oxidants and antioxidants on virus uptake b...
